As a Mark Hoffman fan I feel like i should say something here because whilst it has been mentioned on twitter, I haven't actually seen anyone say anything on tumblr [which is slightly concerning]
I am NOT a fan of c0stas mandylor, I am uncomfortable with him and for a good reason
Screenshots from saw twt struggles
Despite these being a few years ago, I have not seen anyone mention an apology or change in opinions from him. [im not one to go digging into actors lives, i dont care]
but I am understandably uncomfortable with people liking/defending this man.
I don't really care if someone likes an actor or not. It's not my issue. I just have a problem if that actor is racist, transphobic, antisemetic, etc, and people don't see that as a problem enough to stop liking.
To me, if someone sees an actor being racist or saying really bad shit, but continues to support/like them. That tells me that the person doesn't see racism as an issue. And that makes me not want to be around them.
Someone else has mentioned him being anti-vaxxer or transphobic, but they did NOT give me any proof so this is entirely speculation or something. [im not one to accuse someone of something without proof]
I am still a fan of hoffman, he's my favourite character, but i understand people not liking hoffman for his actor [im not asking people to like him despite it, or even asking people to stop liking hoffman because of this]
if anyone has anymore proof, screenshots, updates or even info on this subject please do share
